See the country, it's two thirds the size of India and no flights cost more than SAR600 return. There's an awful lot to see in Saudi Arabia most of which has been seen by very few foreigners and unless you only came here for money you must have some interest in travel.

whatever the reason is , one should enjoy the place he lives in , the places i know cost some real money compared to other better places , i mean 10 shots bowling cost 50 sar , while in leb the same ammount could get u a full hour play  ...  and socialization is not easy, the situation between making friend once and a while and not being able to  ,is very difficult , i tend to talk to people and receive either the polite "IDK answer" or the simple ignorance .
this is when u know it's time to start looking to the way back home :)

I agree with a lot of what you've said, Xtrem.

Gashead's comment 'unless you only came here to make money' is unfair since it's so difficult for single women to travel here.  It's much easier for me to leave and explore other countries than to explore this country I've lived in for three years.  Ironic, no?

I agree, Xtrem.  Being in Saudi Arabia for me has been about a lot more than money. I've been privileged to experience a culture not readily available to most people and I've learned a lot about myself in the process.
